Chapter 15-Sonny's Gone?

Chad's POV

4 day's went by, and I never saw Sonny. Not just because the Randoms wouldn't let me see her, as usual. She wasn't at the studios.

I walked into their silly little prop house, to see the Randoms sat around the TV, not talking, obviously upset.

"What's up, Randoms?" I said, trying to not be too obvious like I cared or anything, cause I don't…I think I don't anyway.

I got no response.

"Hello?" I pretended to just notice Sonny was missing. "Where's Sonny?" I asked. No response. "Hello, anyone gonna tell me?" Still nothing. "WHERE IS SHE!" I yelled.

"SHE'S GONE!" The blonde one yelled back.

"What?"

"She's gone back to Wisconsin. Her grandma died and she's really upset. She's gone for a year."

I was trying not to care, but I couldn't. Sonny was gone? I left, hoping none of them saw my hurt, or my confusion.

I left. I needed to think about this. Nothing. Why can't Chad Dylan Cooper think when he's upset? I walked onto the empty So Random stage. Marshall Pike had said that they could have a week off because of Sonny's absence.

I sighed, grabbed my phone and called Sonny.

Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep…Hey, it's Sonny. Please leave a message so I can get back to you.

"Hey, it's Chad." I say. "I'm sorry about last Friday, it wasn't my fault. I just-"

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

Great. My message was cut off. I tried calling her 25 times that week and she never answered. Well, why would she? If she saw it was me she'd probably not want to say anything to me, after what happened. There's a lot of drama in Chad Dylan Cooper's life right now, believe me.

Tawni's POV

I walked onto the set. It was the grocery store for the Check It Out Girls sketch that me and Sonny would've been doing tonight on the show. Of course, now she's gone, for a whole year, too. Who's gonna stand next to me next week and say, "Check it out!" in that sweet, quirky attitude of hers. Not that'll I'll miss her, of course not! Haha!-ha-ha!…

Then I see the guy which half of the fault belonged to. Chad Dylan Cooper walked onto the other side of the set, sighing.

"Come on, Chad!" He was saying. "Ugh, why'd you do it, man? Was it really my fault? No, it was Penelope's. Penelope's to blame…but then, I-I didn't exactly struggle…"

I walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Whoa! Wha-who-wha!" Chad jumps, turns and sees me. "Oh, it's you." He said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him coldly.

"I just-I," He sighed sadly. "I miss Sonny."

"Seriously?" I asked. I never thought Chad would care if Sonny was gone or not. Obviously he does.

"Yeah." Chad sighed, not meeting my eyes. He must have been thinking. After a long time, he spoke. "Can I tell you a secret and know you'll keep it?" He asked me.

Why would I want to keep his secrets? After what he's done I might as well shout his secrets from the rooftops. Believe me, there's a lot I know about Chad Dylan Cooper.

"Why would I keep your secrets?" I asked.

"Because I know you," Chad said, "At least, I think I do. And if I now you well enough, I am pretty sure that you like Sonny, like a best friend and would never want to hurt her."

He made a good point. Although I didn't like it, I guess Sonny is my best friend. She's been so sweet for me, and what have I done for her?

"I won't tell." I say. "Promise."

He smiled. "Last week, when Sonny was on Mackenzie Falls, I decided I'd ask her out."

"Really?" I said. Wow. This was surprising.

"Yeah." He goes on. "But then I invited her to my dressing room and Penelope came in and kissed me. Sonny saw and she left. I never got a chance to explain it to her."

I could see Chad was crushed by this. He really liked Sonny and if Sonny liked him back, this could've made him so happy. But she's gone.

"Well, I don't know what you should do about this…" I say, trying to make it obvious for that tiny mind of his, "Maybe you should just ask her out?"

"I don't think so." Chad says, and my smile fades." She won't answer my calls. She'll never talk to me again." Chad was really hurt by this, I could see it.

"Well, she answers my calls," I tell him.

"Can I use you're phone then?" He asks me.

"I've got one better." I say and I smile. "Chad Dylan Cooper, you and I are going to Wisconsin!"

Chad beamed. "Thanks, Tawni." He told me. "You're not as bad as I thought."

"Neither are you." I told him, then realised what I'd said. "Don't tell anyone though. I still hate you."

"Same to you." He told me.

We both smiled. Even though Wisconsin was the least glamorous state ever, Sonny was there, and we were both ready to see her. I hate to admit this, but I can't wait!

Tawni and Chad are going to Wisconsin! Whoo!
